FADER TV: Fashion Week Behind the Scenes Wood Wood

Danish label Wood Wood have always impressed us with their ability to straddle that line between the lofty planes of high-end fashion and that other sartorial realm called the streets. So it's kind of fitting that for their first show in New York the duo chose a 20-story building on the city's west-side to host the proceedings, in full view of all the fashion week madness but not too far uptown to scare away any of the downtownites. Erin Hansen, our style assistant, makes her FADER TV debut talking to Karl Oskar, one half of Wood Wood, about their latest collection and what it feels like to show at NYFW for the very first time. Look out for the hats—our favorites were stuck in customs—alas! But the new brimless, North African hat is most definitely a Wood Wood look we consign for Spring '09.
